Jelajah Andalusia, Sepanyol - Around Malaga

By
The last day in Spain was spent exploring the city of Malaga until our departure time to Geneve. Malaga province with its Costa del Sol has around 160km of beaches facing the Mediterranean sea. We decided to visit one of the beaches known as Los Alamos beach.  Oh yeah! its winter time, so we would not able to see the typical beach view of people sunbathing, swimming and surfing.  It's just that we missed beach view since Switzerland is a land-locked country and that seeing beaches were like a-dream-come-true experience! In fact, its the first time for Alya to see the sea and beaches while Ashraf and Afif were so awed by the powerful waves.  It was very windy and the sound of big waves crashing towards the beach was so awesome for them.







Easyjet's Network in Europe
So we bid adios to Spain and headed to the Malaga Costa del Sol airport only to find out that our flight was cancelled! The only flight was in another two days! Luckily, Easyjet's customer service was so helpful! They rebooked us to the next available flights which was two days after since all flights out of Malaga via other destinations was fully booked. Hmmm extended vacation again in Malaga! They also managed to secure accommodation in Malaga for us complimentary from Easyjet. This is a normal procedure for airlines in the event they cancelled flight if cancellation was done by the airlines and that provision of alternate routes or flight beyond 8 hours waiting time. 

Citroen C3
So now we had extension of stay in Malaga and arranged for car rental from the same company.  Luck was on our side, we managed to get another car and this time a compact car from the same car company, a Citroen C3!  It seemed that in Malaga, we were able to "test-drive" different models of Citroen's cars! However, the rental rate was slightly expensive due to last minute rent.  What to do.. redha je la.... We headed to check in the hotel provided by Easyjet.  It's smaller that the apartment that we rented before but beggars can't be chooser.  At least, we have  a place to stay on.  But what to do, where to visit ?  Hmmmm... At last, we decided to head south to the end of the European continent towards Gibraltar!

Ingin mengembara ke Switzerland?

Pemandangan Switzerland dari langit Switzerland memang menjadi idaman para pelancong dan pengembara. Cantik dengan gunung-ganang, tasik, dan bandar yang kaya dengan sejarah. Switzerland bukan sahaja popular dengan cokelat, keju dan jam, tetapi juga menjadi lokasi penggambaran filem-filem hebat dar luar -- Sangam; The Sound of Music; James Bond; Diwale; Crash Landing on You; video clip lagu " Jackpot " oleh Bastian Baker dan banyak lagi!! Saya nak berkongsi dengan pembaca agar tulisan ini dapat menjadi panduan sebelum menjejakkan kaki ke Switzerland. Saya banyak menerima pertanyaan dari rakan-rakan mengenai Switzerland. Terutamanya rakan-rakan di Malaysia. Soalan-soalan di bawah ni memang cukup popular: (1) Apakah tempat menarik yang harus saya lawati di Switzerland? (2) Bagaimana dengan penginapan? hotel di sana mahal atau tak? (3) Bagaimana cara mudah hendak ke Switzerland, melalui London? Paris? atau Amsterdam? (4) Bagaimana hendak bergerak dari satu tempat k...

Kembara 7 malam dengan Motorhome di Switzerland berbaloi tak?

By
Sebenarnya hasrat nak mengembara dengan campervan atau motorhome dah lama. Dari kali pertama di Geneva dulu pada tahun 2008-2010, nak cuba tapi asyik bertangguh. Trip kali ni memang agak teruja sebab ia satu pengalaman baharu, sebelum ini pengembaraan banyak dengan kereta atau kapal terbang. Jadi kami putuskan mengapa kali ni tak cuba mengembara dengan motorhome? Mengembara dengan motorhome kena buat perancangan rapi dan tempahan kena buat lebih awal terutamanya kalau mengembara pada musim panas sebab permintaan untuk kenderaan motorhome agak tinggi. Dalam bulan Mei sebelum cuti musim panas bulan Ogos, saya buat perancangan dengan mencari syarikat-syarikat sewa motorhome secara online, cari syarikat sewa motorhome yang berdekatan dengan Geneva supaya senang untuk ambil dan hantar motorhome kelak.  Perancangan kitaorang lebih kurang macam ni: Pertama : Dengan ahli keluarga seramai lima orang, saya bandingkan kos sewa hotel dengan sewa motorhome dan kos-kos lain. Kami dengan ahli kel...

Jelajah Andalusia, Sepanyol - Alhambra

By
It's almost the end of 2009 and our tenure in Geneve almost ended! For our last trip, we decided to visit Spain!  Why Spain? In fact, we wanted to run away from the cold harsh winter time in Switzerland!  People suggested Barcelona or Madrid but we wanted to steer away from the hustle bustle of metropolitans and opted for a more relaxing and scenic trip. Thus, we decided to explore the remnants of the Islamic presence in Spain in the Andalusia. So on 21st Dec 2009, we booked our flight using Eastjet from Geneva to Malaga, Spain, the nearest airport in Andalusia and we made as our base booking an apartment there for 3 days. How nice when you can take some fresh air in front of your hotel with jean and just a t-shirt in December in Europe. To ease our movement, we rented car from Hertz to fit a family of five and picked it up at the Malaga airport itself. Coincidentally, we managed to get a sedan Citroen C4! The next day, our first itinerary was to head to the most beautifu...
